Ruhi kapoor

I overslept, because why break a habit, and spent half an hour in bed overthinking about yesterday's unexpected encounter with samar, I have to get him out of my mind.

Shoo! Samar!!

I decided to start my day with a long shower, because cleanliness is next to godliness, especially when you're about to meet a mysterious big shot businessman who, for some reason, wanted to keep his name a secret.

After another 20 minutes of deliberation, i finally settled on a trendy outfit that's comfortable enough to make me forget I'm a hot mess, at least for a few hours.

Later, after fuelling up with breakfast, I was on a high alert waiting for his PA to show up, meanwhile I was mindlessly scrolling through my phone and stumbled upon shaan's new pictures, which I took the screenshot and promptly set as my wallpaper because let's be real, he's rocking that messy brown hair look and I'm over here trying to play it cool while my cheeks are secretly doing the flush happy dance.

Later, his PA arrived, which was great because he also had the options to send a driver, but that's not important, and we headed to the businessman's mansion, who seemed quite mysterious.

As I stepped into the grand entrance, my eyes widened in awe. The high ceilings adorned with intricate mouldings, seemed to stretch up to the sky. Crystal chandeliers retracted light, casting a kaleidoscope of colours across the marble floor.

I felt like I'd entered a palace. Everywhere I looked, there was lavish furnishings, exquisite artwork, and impeccable design. The air was thick with the scent of luxury.

A sweeping staircase curved upward, inviting me to explore the secret's above. I wandered, as I took in the sheer scale of interior.

To my left, a floor-to-ceiling window offered a glimpse of a meticulously manicured garden, complete with a sparkling fountain. The natural light pouring in highlighted the lavish textures and colours of the room.

I couldn't help but wonder who could afford such extravagance. The mysterious businesses man who appointed me must be incredibly successful.

Every step revealed a new treasure, each one more breath-taking than the last. I felt like a kid in a candy store, my eyes darting from one wonder to the next.

As I continued to Marvel at the opulence surrounding me, my gaze landed on a stunning antique vase perched on a near by pedestal. I reached out a hand to touch it's delicate handle, but my fingers slipped, and the vase teetered before crashing to the floor.
